A man called Maha owns a farm which can produce 10 apples every day.He has 5 workers to operate the farm.Each of them eats 1 apple daily and it is enough to keep them operating the farm normally.The remaining 4 apples, the landlord sells them at RM10 each and he earns RM40.He uses RM25 to improve the farm operation and facilities.He gives RM2.00 to each of his workers and he keeps the remaining RM5.00 as profit.

Day by day, the farm is well developed and all of the 5 workers are happy with the money they can save.

Maha passes away and there is a new landlord, Abdul who continues the farm operation.He says to the workers:” We need to improve the farm quality and redefine our way of thinking.From now on all of you need to pay RM1.00 for each apple you eat.It is very cheap as the price is RM10 each outside the farm.”

The workers have no choice but to pay RM1.00 for the apple they eat daily.

Their earning decreases from RM2.00 to RM1.00 per person.As usual, Abdul sells the 4 apples and he gets RM40.He uses RM25 for farm improvements and pays RM10 to his 5 workers.He gets RM5.00 as profit. On top of that, he gets another RM5.00 from the apples that he sells to his workers.In total, he gets RM10 as profit every day.

Soon, the apple price increases to RM20 each.The new landlord gets a higher profit as he gets RM80 for the 4 apples he sells daily.Then, he decides to give the farm improvement contract to one of his close friend, Samy.

Samy says:”Apple cost naik, improvement cost also misti naik.”

So, the farm improvement cost increases from RM25 to RM50.

In actual, the improvement only cost RM30.The remaining RM20, Abdul and Samy share evenly among themselves.

In total, Abdul gets RM35 daily compare to RM10 initially when he takes over the farm from Maha.His profit increases RM25 and the workers are still getting RM1.00 daily per person.

The greedy Abdul does not want to stop there.One day, he says to his fellow workers:” You see ah, the current market price for one apple is RM20 and you are only paying RM1.See how lucky you are! I have to SUBSIDISE RM19.00 for each of the apple you buy and in total I need to SUBSIDISE RM95.00.

This will greatly burden the farm and we might go bankrupt if we continue like this.In order to avoid bankruptcy, I need to increase the apple price that you buy from RM1.00 to RM1.50 and I will bare the remaining RM18.50 per apple as my subsidy to you all. “

So, greedy Abdul adds RM2.50 to his current profit and the number becomes RM37.50.

After you have read the story, I am sure you have already understood the meaning of “SUBSIDY”, aren’t you?
